Their products are more expensive than others but I think the quality is worth the premium price.

Minted has an extensive Save the Dates selection with over 84 designs. The cards feature beautiful photos and imagery and you can personalize many of the cards to suit your style and occasion. I also dig that they focus on customer satisfaction and back it up with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. The company tag line is that you’ll always find the freshest designs on paper. Indeed!

One of our favorite designers is Turquoise Creative that creates the Happy Branch Save the Date photo card. The designs are stunning with beautiful pastel colors and clean lines and simple fonts.
